Singer Robin Thicke is convinced he has spent more than $500,000 on marijuana.
The pop star, who was arrested in New York City on a pot possession charge last year, has revealed his habit has cost him a fortune, and he has been trying to give it up.
He tells Britain's The Sun, "I do smoke. I do everything I'm not supposed to do. Weed is my crutch, my muse, the lesser of all evil. I've spent a good $500,000 on pot. I've tried to quit smoking. I've quit everything once. My buddy runs a store, I can get medical marijuana. When I'm at home, I'm a non-stop chimney."
The "Blurred Lines" singer was detained by police last year when he was spotted smoking what appeared to be a joint while sitting in a car in Manhattan.

GPCH CEO: Hospital construction progressing well
According to the CEO of Golden Plains Community Hospital, construction on its new facility is coming along well.During the regular meeting of the Hutchinson County Hospital District Board of Directors Monday evening, GPCH CEO Dennis Jack said everything is continuing to go well with the construction process.He said construction is three days ahead of schedule, which was reported around three weeks ago. Jack said workers have high confidence that the hospital will be complete ahead of schedule and under budget. He said they are afraid to give an exact date as to when that might be, but he said it appears inspections can start by mid-August or early September on the new facility.Jack said punch list items need to be taken care before the staff moves into the building, so painters, repairmen, and other workers will not be working around them.He said this work will begin on the D, B, and C buildings before the A building. He said the D buildings will include administration, the kitchen, business office, rehab, medical records and laboratories. The B section of the hospital is the women's center. The C buildings will constitute the ICU and medical patient wing. The A section will include surgery, the emergency room, radiology, pharmacy, admissions, the gift shop, respiratory therapy, and the gift shop.Jack said the workers were hoping the hospital would be able to take ownership of part of the building early, but it won't have full permission until early September. He also said the hospital does not want to take partial possession of the hospital due to the fact that new equipment such as phones and new furniture will not be delivered until September.He said it appears the hospital will take ownership of the new building around the end of September, with opening to the public taking place in mid-October. He said on the day the hospital takes ownership, it will literally have to be in two places at once, operating at the old facility during one part of the day and in the new facility the other part of the day.Jack said he has appreciated the cooperation of the City of Borger in making this project happen. When inspections have been required, city officials have been out and gotten the work done in a timely manner, and he said he is grateful for their efforts.

What is the ruling on a woman who did 'umrah and cut a fingertip's length from her hair, but she did not take from all of her hair because her hair is layered, and she could not take from all parts of it because that is too difficult? Does she have to do anything? Please note that she was unaware of this matter, that it is obligatory to take something from all parts of the hair.
What is required is to cut the hair following Hajj or 'Umrah, taking from all parts of the head. For more information please see the answer to question no. 110804
If it is not possible to take from all parts of the hair, because the hair is layered, then the woman should gather her hair and cut something from the ends.
Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked: Some women have layered hair, as they call it, and it is not like braids from which the length of a fingertip may be cut. How can they cut from all over the head?
He replied: It should be cut from each layer.
Then I asked him: But it is not possible to tell the layers apart.
He said: In that case it is sufficient to take from the ends.
End quote from Thamaraat at-Tadween.

Maniac Cop (UK - BD)
Chris checks out Arrow's Blu-ray Disc release of the cult eighties horror film...
Notorious video nasty creator William Lustig and B-Movie legend Larry Cohen return to the dirty streets for a unique high speed collision of the slasher movie and police thriller in Maniac Cop, a blood splattered tale of brutal cop vengeance from beyond the grave. When reports come in of a man in a police uniform committing gore drenched bloody murder on the city streets, officer Jack Forrest (Bruce Campbell) stands accused. Now, with few friends, powerful enemies and a psychopathic slayer still at large, it's up to Jack to prove he's not guilty and bring down the killer.
Now, Arrow video brings the Maniac Cop back from the 80s video vault to stalk the night time streets once more, looking for fresh victims... (from the Arrow Video synopsis.)
Visually Arrow's Blu-ray transfers have been a bit hit and miss, with the impressive titles overshadowed by a greater number of iffy discs. Too many of their releases have had the natural grain all-but eliminated by the overzealous use of DNR, and worse still the occasional title has then suffered the ignominy of having artificial grain foisted upon it to try and emulate the appearance of film. Those discs just look incredibly 'digital', but thankfully Maniac Cop's 1.85:1 (1080/24p AVC) transfer has plenty of natural grain on show for a surprisingly filmic look. Although heavier in scenes that feature low lighting the grain is pretty consistent and I didn't find it particularly distracting. Detail is generally strong throughout, certainly when compared to any DVD release, but there are a few scenes where the image looks soft and unfocussed. However, I believe this is due to the original materials rather than noise reduction after the fact. I was most pleased with the colour palette, which is strong and natural (more so than the US disc if the caps I've seen are any indication). I do have a few complaints though. There's some telecine wobble, which is particularly noticeable early on, and film artefacts are abundant (a few of them are large enough to be quite distracting). There's also some noise to be found, especially in the darker scenes, and quite a lot of unsightly shimmering. There's also a fair amount of black crush. Even so, when weighed against the film's low-budget origins and the cost of bringing it to Blu-ray these flaws don't seem as bothersome as they perhaps should. In all honesty I doubt the film's looked this good since it was in theatrical circulation.
A fairly plain LPCM 2.0 Stereo track is the order of business here, and as you might expect it's functional rather than flashy. The track does the basics well, presenting strong dialogue that never gets buried in the mix, but said dialogue often lacks fidelity and sounds hollow in the way that many eighties movies do (especially the cheaper ones). The occasional stereo pan across the soundstage is about as much as can expected as far as directionality is concerned, and bass is incredibly anaemic. Of course the track is somewhat limited in scope by the source material, which isn't particularly inventive or dynamic to begin with. Perhaps the most memorable element is the score, with its signature tune that sort of reminds me of Charles Bernstein's main theme from A Nightmare on Elm Street, but even this sounds quite thin. Even so it's unfair to label this a bad effort, because after all it's simply replicating the original track. Given that accurately reproducing the source is something that most fans of Blu-ray want from their discs I can't be too critical. It gets the job done and I'd rather have the original audio than some bodged remix any day.
First up is 'Doomed Detective: Tom Atkins on Maniac Cop' (20:14 HD), a fairly lengthy interview with one of the film's principal actors in which he discusses his involvement with the film and his other acting roles. It's a pretty informal, honest chat. This is followed by 'Lady of the Night: Laurene Landon Remembers Maniac Cop' (13:26 HD), which follows a similar pattern to the last featurette insomuch as the actress discusses how she got her start in the movies and specifically her involvement with Maniac Cop. 'Scripting a New Slasher Super-Villain: Larry Cohen on Matt Cordell' (18:55 HD) is a reasonably lengthy chat with the film's writer/producer, in which he discusses his previous films, particularly their thematic relevance to Maniac Cop. All of the interviews are more interesting than the usual run of the mill stuff found on most major studio releases, and are well worth a listen. In addition to the interviews the disc also includes two trailers (01:54 HD and 02:11 HD respectively), as well as a couple of TV Spots (00:50 HD).
Okay, let's be brutally honest for a minute, Maniac Cop isn't a particularly good movie and it never really delivers on its high concept premise. However, it's one of those strange beasts that manages to be more than the sum of its rather mediocre parts and I found it quite enjoyable in spite of its flaws. I'm not saying it's a great film, but it did keep me entertained for the majority of its short running time. If nothing else it's noteworthy as possibly the only film in existence where Bruce Campbell is 'out-chinned'. Technically the Blu-ray is a pretty solid effort, remaining true to the film's low budget origins while delivering an audio-visual experience that should be more palatable to today's demanding audiences. To reiterate my earlier comment, I honestly doubt it's looked or sounded much better since its original theatrical release, which is no mean feat. It's a pity that the extras aren't more plentiful (I understand there's a commentary track floating around somewhere), but what there is does just enough to make you feel like a bit of effort went into them. Fans of the film or eighties slashers in general should have a good time with this one.

Between this and the Synapse release of this film, I'm not sure which one to get? Might hang it out until the Blue Underground one?

There isn't going to be a Blue Underground one anytime soon. Lustig doesn't have the rights to any of the Maniac Cop films.

- Fuel injectors may be faulty
- Fuel injector leaks
- Spark plugs may be faulty
- Improper ignition timing
- Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
Tech notes
As the code description implies the P0430 code means that the vehicle's control module has detected that the three-way catalytic converter is not working properly (is not as efficient as the factory is expecting). Replacing the oxygen (O2) sensors may sometimes fix the code, but in most cases, the catalytic convert needs to be replaced to fix the problem. If the P0430 code is combined with other codes, try fixing the other codes first.
When is the code detected?
If a condition exists which causes the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to detect excessive Bank 2 HO2S #2 activity outside of an acceptable range for an extended period of time, the PCM will set the P0420 code. This indicates that the three-way catalytic converters oxygen storage capacity is below a threshold considered acceptable.
Possible symptoms
- Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)

Blackout Blinds & Shades for Room Darkening
- Best choice for complete darkness
- Blocks 99% of incoming light
- Great for bedrooms and home theaters
- Tight-fitting inside mounts block the most light
- Many styles to darken your space
Blackout shades and blinds block nearly all incoming light with cellular shade, roman shade, roller shade, woven wood, pleated shade, panel track and skylight choices. Although sometimes called Blackout Blinds, a light blocking blackout effect is best achieved with shades, as they block the most light with a tight-fitting inside-mounted opaque shade. Blackout Shades eliminate maximum light seepage with specially woven material or with the addition of a liner to create a darker space than the subtler Room Darkening Shades. Custom blackout blinds provide the darkest blackout experience available.

"Saving for More"
By DK from Olympia, WA
We built a Craftsman style home with beautiful wood wrap around the windows. These blinds were perfect! The easy install compression design was just what I needed the blinds look great and are very secure. I bought the room darkening shades and they are also great insulators. We immediately felt a difference in the warmth of the bedrooms where they're installed. I'm saving up for more.View this product

These included cartoons of officers and fellow inmates, plans for suburban homes, portraits of beautiful women, and renderings of exciting, downtown San Francisco, which was so near yet so far away. During World War II (1941-45), much inmate art had a patriotic theme that supported the war effort – just as inmates supported the war effort by making products for the military.

CES might be in full swing now, but that hasn't stopped Sony from suddenly announcing a bunch of new in-ear headphones.
The range features four sets of high-quality earphones, designed with quality in mind. There are four pairs with iPhone and iPod in-line remote controls, some washable sports headphones, a wireless bluetooth pair and a new, battery-box-free noise cancelling set.
Meet the Balanced Armature
But the key to all these headphones is the new Balanced Armature. These are a quarter of the size of a normal earphone driver but still deliver the same sensitivity, in a minuscule package. Sony points out that, these new drivers can be specially tuned to respond to specific frequencies. And, you could have more than one unit per earphone, giving you Hi-Fi speaker style separation of bass, treble and mid-range audio.
Sony also says that the sealed design means these headphones leak less sound outward, so don't annoy people near you. And, as part of the same design, they also keep external sounds out, reducing the interference and audio tedium of everyday life.
The XBA range has four specific models, designated XBA-1 and up to, surprisingly, 4. These numbers also indicate how many BA drivers the earphones have. The XBA-1 features one, the XBA-2 has two. You get the picture. The configuration varies though, so the two driver, XBA-2 has an armature aimed at delivering punchy bass. The XBA-3 has high, mid and low drivers and the XBA-4 offers drivers that deliver full-range, high-end treble, mid-range and a "subwoofer" for very deep bass.
The XBA-1iP, 2iP etc are all the same, but add that much-loved in-line iPhone remote and microphone. Good if you've got an iDevice, less interesting to everyone else.
Noise cancelling and Bluetooth
Perhaps most exciting though, are the XBA-NC85D noise cancelling headphones. These are the first in the world that don't feature a bulky battery box. Instead, the space savings of the new Balanced Armature mean that you get a single driver, noise cancellation chip and a rechargeable battery, all tucked away in the earphone.
What's more, this tiny battery pack manages to power the headphones for 20 hours before running out of juice. You can't argue that's impressive miniaturisation.
The XBA-BT75 bluetooth headphones have a similar design. Their electronics is built in to the earpieces themselves too. There's room for the Bluetooth antenna as well as a battery that can drive the cans for three and a half hours on one charge. Not a massive time, but enough to see you through a nice long run. The headphones will go on sale in April this year, pricing has yet to be announced. We will, of course, bring you reviews as soon as we're able.
Sound good? Let us know in the comments below.

Making items bind on account after rollback is a great idea. You can't sell it, but that is better than losing it. And if you were being dishonest, well, I'm not sorry for you.
I agree if your just in it to dupe blizzard for more items then you deserve to be screwed! But if you just want what was taken then you won't be upset.

A Food Blog that shares tried & true recipes, and my passion for cooking and baking with a garnish of beginning gardening and some travel.
Thursday, March 19, 2009
Girl's night home alone-- My fast food is Parsley Pesto Pasta with Peas
So, then I got to thinking-- how hard could it be to make my own pesto sauce? I've seen it done, many times. All you need is fresh basil, olive oil, garlic and pine nuts (or walnuts). I had everything I needed--except for fresh basil. My husband says he "hates" pesto. I could never get a sensible answer as to why, but I accepted that and I've never made any kind of pesto recipe for him. So tonight was the night for me to see what pesto pasta is all about--
Then I thought... hmmmm, my Italian parsley bush is growing like crazy. I was thinking of making a chimichurri sauce soon....but could I make a parsley pesto sauce?
I gathered up my ingredients and headed to my garden.
I added all of my ingredients, except for the olive oil. I drizzled the olive oil, while pureeing everything in my 30 year old Cuisinart (what a faithful kitchen tool this has been for me).
That didn't take long! I tasted it. Hmmm, a little "bitter"... kind of like eating a lawn.
Oh yeah! Marjoram! I remember seeing a recipe for Parsley and Marjoram pesto. So, I cut some fresh marjoram:
I added the marjoram leaves to the pesto, and tasted it. Success! (I could sure taste the garlic...whoo!)
In a pan, I added the pasta (that I had gently reheated), some thawed peas, about 2 Tbsp of pesto and some fresh lemon zest-- and then a pinch of red pepper flakes.
This is my idea of fast food! Simple, fresh, flavorful-- much better than a bowl of Frosted Flakes.
Only one problem-- I think I should have cut back on the garlic cloves. Hopefully my husband will taste this dish, so that his garlic will cancel out mine. I love garlic. I just hope that my husband does, tonight. Or, I'll be facing away from him in bed.
I'm going to freeze the rest of the pesto in an ice tray, and then store it in a zip-loc bag. I can think of other possibilities to use this pesto in other recipes. I'll bet anything that my husband doesn't even realize why his food will taste so good...unless he reads this blog. He usually doesn't, though-- so it's our little secret.
I'm sold. Pesto is easy to make, and I can see a lot of possibilities. While I love basil, this was a fun way to use my herbs that are thriving in this mild pre-spring California weather.

Although I'm usually from your husband's camp, this looks puts my bowl of cereal to shame! And pesto can be used on so many yummy things, it's a great thing to have in the fridge.

Nothing like re-defining the term "fast food!" How about "incredibly fresh fast food?" The pesto and pasta looks wonderful!

Allah has promised those of you who believe and do right actions that He will make them successors in the land as He made those before them successors, and will firmly establish for them their religion with which He is pleased and give them, in place of their fear, security. "They worship Me, not associating anything with Me..."(Surat an-Nur, 55)
1.Allah has promised those of you who believe and do right actions...
Through these words, Allah reveals His promise to Muslims who genuinely believe, one which has not yet come about but which certainly will. This promise concerns the world dominion of Islam. (Allah knows the truth.)
2.... As He made those before them successors ...
Allah has twice brought religious morality to world dominance, through the Prophet Solomon (as) and Dhu'lqarnayn (as). Allah bestowed both power and dominion on Solomon (as) and Dhu'lqarnayn (as). The Qur'an reveals that the Prophet Solomon (as) had djinn at his command that worked in his service, and that Allah also placed the winds and the metal copper at his disposal. (Surah Saba', 12) In addition, Allah bestowed various other knowledge on the Prophet Solomon (as). He also ruled the demons, by the will of Allah, and spoke with the birds and was able to hear what ants said to one another. All these are special that Allah bestowed on the Prophet Solomon (as). In the same way. Allah has also revealed that in the time of Hazrat Mahdi (as) he will place underground wealth at his disposal:
"Hazrat Mahdi (as) is one of my children…He will bring forth treasures from under the ground and conquer the lands of polytheism." (Signs of the Awaited Mahdi, Ahmad Ibn Hajar al-Makki (Haytami), p. 25)
"…In his time, the earth will cast forth the treasures within it." (Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi Alamat al-Mahdi al- Muntadhar, p. 33)
3.... He will make them successors in the land, ...
In this passage, Allah states that following the period of dominion of the Prophet Solomon (as) and Dhu'lqarnayn (as) there will come another term of dominion. However, no such global dominion ever took place until 1400, Islamic calendar, the time of the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (as). Muslims had never literally been successors. Islamic moral values had never been adopted by all people. But in the hadith about the End Times and Hazrat Mahdi (as) our Prophet (saas) explicitly states that there will be such a period of global sovereignty in the time of Hazrat Mahdi (as), that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will be instrumental in many people converting to Islam and that through the light of the Prophet Jesus (as) Christians will also convert to Islam.
"The reason why he is called Hazrat Mahdi (as) is that he will head to one of the mountains in Sham. From there HE WILL BRING OUT THE BOOKS OF THE TORAH and a Jewish community will become Muslim in his hand."(Imam Suyuti)
Naim narrates from Salman ibn 'Isa that he said: From what I have heard, the Ark of the Covenant found in the time of Hazrat Mahdi (as) will be brought out of Lake Tiberias and brought before him in Bayt al-Maqdis. When the Jews see that, all but a few will become Muslims.
(Hadith from Jalal al-Din al-Suyuti's Commentary, Portents of the Mahdi of the End Times (Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir al-Zaman, p. 23, Translated by: Muserref Gozcu - Kahraman Nesriyat).
4.... and will firmly establish for them their religion with which He is pleased...
In this verse, Allah tells Muslims that the world dominion in question lies in the future. The words "...and will firmly establish for them their religion..." reveal that the moral values of Islam will rule the world, and because firmly installed at settled in it. None of the true religions following the times of the Prophet Solomon (as) and the Prophet Solomon were ever established so firmly until 1400, by the Islamic calendar. Our Prophet (saas) has explicitly revealed that this global dominion will take place in the time of the Great Mahdi. The fact that the portents revealed by our Prophet (saas) all began taking place from 1400, by the Islamic calendar, is a sign that Hazrat Mahdi (as) has come and the global dominion of Islamic morality is close at hand.
5.... and give them, in place of their fear, security...." (Surat an-Nur, 55)
The final part of this verse refers to the End Times. It reveals that before the global dominion of Islam in this final age, there will be an age in which Muslims live in fear and hardship because of corruption, disorder and oppression. Indeed, the 20th and 21st centuries were those which say the worst ever bloodshed, religious wars, oppression of believers and believers having to hide and worship in secret.
6.... They worship Me, not associating anything with Me ...
However, Allah has expressed one condition for believers if this global dominion is to come about. That is for believers to entirely rid themselves of polytheism and worship Allah as the One. Hazrat Mahdi (as) will discharge that duty in the End Times. Through him, Allah will rid the religion of all subsequent accretions. He will ensure that people live by the religion in its pure and unsullied state, as in the time of our Prophet (saas).1 Through the Prophet Jesus (as), who will appear in the same way in the End Times, Christians will convert to Islam and become Muslims and the belief in the Trinity will be eliminated.2 Hazrat Mahdi (as) will be instrumental in a great many Jews becoming Muslims. 3
1 ...The Mahdi will apply the religion as in the time of the Prophet (saas). He will eliminate sects from the world. No sect will be left apart from the pure and true religion.
His enemies will be those who imitate scholars of jurisprudence. Because they will be displeased when they see that Hazrat Mahdi (as) pronounces in a manner different to that of the imams of the sects, but they will also be unable to oppose him… His declared enemies will be the scholars of canon law.
Because they will lose all public esteem. They will even have less knowledge on the subject of the laws. By his coming, this imam will also eliminate disagreements among rulings by scholars. If he had no sword (knowledge), they would issue a fatwa for his death. (Portents of Doomsday, 186-187)
Hazrat Mahdi (as) will keep Islam alive at the end in the same way the Prophet (saas) kept it alive in the beginning. (Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntazar, p. 27)
Hazrat Mahdi (as) will leave no subsequent accretion uncleansed. He will discharge the requirements of the religion just like the Prophet (saas). (Portents of Doomsday, 163)
2 At that time, when that trend seems very powerful, true Christianity, the corporate personality of the Prophet Jesus (as), will appear, in other words, the divine mercy will appear from the sky; he will purge Christianity in the face of that truth, rid it of all superstition and distortion and it will unite with the truth of Islam; Christianity will turn into a kind of Islam. And by abiding by the Qur'an, that Christianity will be the follower and Islam will remain in the rank of that which is followed; and as a result of this amalgamation the true religion will acquire a magnificent power. (The Letters, p. 53-54)
3 Naim narrated from Salman ibn Isa that he said: I have heard that in the time of Hazrat Mahdi (as) the Ark of the Covenant will be extracted from Lake Tiberias and brought to him in Jerusalem. WHEN THE JEWS SEE THIS THE MAJORITY, ALL BUT A VERY FEW, WILL BECOME MUSLIMS. (Hadith from the Commentary by Jalaladdin as-Suyuti, Portents of Hazrat Mahdi (as) of the End Times, (Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir al-Zaman), p. 23, Translated by: Muserref Gozcu - Kahraman Nesriyat)
In referring to the perfect knowledge and successes of Hazrat Mahdi (as), it is related that WHEN HE APPEARS IN VISIBLE FORM HE WILL DEBATE THOSE MATTERS HE SPEAKS OF WITH THE JEWS ON THE BASIS OF THE TORAH AND WILL PROVE THEM, AS A RESULT OF WHICH A GREAT MANY OF THEM WILL CONVERT TO ISLAM. (Bihar al-Anwar)2010-03-09 12:14:05

A winter storm warning is in effect until 6 a.m. Wednesday for Lake and McHenry counties, according to the National Weather Service. Snow was falling at a rate of 1 inch/hour in Lake County Tuesday evening- and total accumulation could crack double digits and maybe exceed a foot by daybreak.
High winds are whipping up the snow, leading to whiteout conditions with near zero visibility in some areas.
VIDEO:Winter storm warning in Lake, McHenry Counties
Residents in the area are urged to stay inside, and be careful shoveling the heavy, wet snow. Traveling is considered very hazardous.
Meanwhile, a winter weather advisory was extended until 6 a.m. Wednesday for Cook, Kane, DuPage, DeKalb, Boone and Winnebago counties. As much as 4 to 7 inches could fall in parts of the area, and winds are as high as 35 mph.
"This is not ending anytime soon," ABC7 Meteorologist Mike Caplan said. "An ugly afternoon rush, and it's not even going to be done tomorrow."
The heaviest snow was expected between 3 p.m. and 9 p.m. and in McHenry and Lake counties. Light snow could continue overnight. That could lead to an additional accumulation of 1 to 2 inches.
At O'Hare Airport, the official measure as of 6 p.m. was 3.8 inches of snow. That makes it the biggest snow of this season.
School programs, sports canceled
Some area schools canceled classes and extracurricular activities for Tuesday afternoon. Chicago Public Schools canceled all sporting events for Tuesday afternoon, including the six regionals basketball games the district was hosting.
Click here for a list of school closings
Slick roads, spinouts across Chicago, suburbs
High winds of up to 30 mph are making travel hazardous with low visibility.
"Can't see the car in front of you. Lots of fun," Dino Alexakos, who was filling up his gas tank at the Des Plaines Oasis, said of driving on the highway.
"It's scary. The wife's in the car having little panic attacks. But I say, 'I've got it.' I've been doing this for 23 years. I'm OK," Shane Brown, driver, said. He thinks visibility was at half a mile or less.
Roads are slick and icy as temperatures hover slightly above freezing. Several spinouts have been reported across the area. As much as three to six inches could fall across the Chicago area.
Snow plows and salt trucks have been mobilized across the city and suburbs. The Chicago Department of Streets and Sanitation has its full fleet of 280 snow plows and trucks out on the main arteries.
"The advantage we have now is that the surface temperatures are still pretty warm. It's breaking down," said Commissioner Charles Williams, Chicago Department of Sanitation. "The rush hour will be slow, but our trucks are out there." Track the city's plows at chicagoshovels.org
Streets and San said that a new crew will come on at 10 p.m. and work overnight. They're replacing those drivers who have been out throughout the afternoon.
"We sent home a full group of drivers this morning, told them to rest up, because we know we're going to need them tonight," Mike Claffey, Illinois Department of Transportation, said.
The Illinois Tollway also mobilized its full fleet of 182 snowplows Tuesday morning to get a start on the storm. Crews will work around the clock to clear the roads for the evening commute and Wednesday morning's rush hour.
To deal with the weather, the Tollway has canceled all temporary lane closures until Thursday, February 28 at 7 a.m.
Drivers are urged to allow extra time on the roadways and to be careful shoveling snow.
"About a third of all heart attacks during times of physical or emotional stress. And if you're not used to doing physical activity shoveling snow is a very intense physical activity and you should be cautious," Rush University Medical Center's Dr. Clifford Kavinsky said.
Hundreds of flights canceled
More than 330 flights were canceled Tuesday at O'Hare International Airport, while 170 flights were canceled at Midway Airport. Other flights are delayed 30 to 60 minutes.
The Chicago Department of Aviation is encouraging airline passengers with flights scheduled for Tuesday to check the status of their flights before heading to Chicago's airports. ABC7 Flight Tracker.

The following is a walkthrough of the Puncture Wounds mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Get in the modded car and follow the driver. You are given a total of three stingers to use. The driver occasionally drives frantically, so timing must be perfect. Drive quickly in front of the driver and as you are doing so, release one of the stinger traps. The driver flees, giving you the opportunity to steal the Stratum. Get out of the modded vehicle, and then Carl's phone will ring. Carl informs Cesar about what happened, and tells Cesar that he'll fix the Stratum. After an interesting cutscene, Carl would automatically be in the Stratum. Work your way back to the garage in Doherty. Mission is then passed, with the Wang Cars showroom now becoming an asset.

I'm going to be 100% honest with you--I made this dinner in mid-November. We were having guests for dinner, and one of them doesn't eat red meat. I found this recipe on "The Pioneer Woman Cooks" and I decided that this would be the perfect solution. I've made Chicken Parmesan many times, so I didn't really need a recipe. I will give Ree Drummond credit for inspiring me to make this!
If you've never made Chicken Parmesan (or Parmigiana, as "Ree" calls it), you need marinara sauce. I stopped buying bottled spaghetti sauce years ago, because I found that making your own sauce is so easy, and I think it tastes much better. I try to buy San Marzano crushed tomatoes to make my own sauce. They're a little more expensive, but they taste so good. I haven't photographed a tutorial on how to make marinara sauce, but the Pioneer Woman has. I'll give you the link for that at the end of this recipe. Let's begin:
I simply return the chicken to the sauce-- and here's where I improvised. Instead of adding more Parmesan cheese on top of the chicken, I added fresh mozarella. When I lifted the lid, to take a photo, the cheese hadn't fully melted. In the end, it did!
I have some cooking to do, now! Hopefully, I'll catch up in posting what I've made very soon!

In the appendage, Dr. King discusses the personal afflictions he has endured as a result of his civil rights work including death threats, bombings of his home, and a near fatal stabbing. He states that suffering has a "redemptive quality" and discusses how he transformed his personal suffering into a "creative force" instead of reacting with bitterness. The draft of this addition is written on a letter sent to Dr. King from Daniel G. Hill.

April 17 - Tax Day is here. It's the day we pool our resources as citizens to buy the things that create a civilized society.
Things like schools, libraries, parks, clean air and water, fire protection, bridges & roads, and infinitely more.
MEA-MFT's coalition, the Partnership for Montana's Future (the same folks we worked with to put on the big rallies in 2011) has been drawing attention to the good things our tax dollars buy for us.
The Partnership's tax gnome has been appearing in front of libraries, police stations, fire departments, and elsewhere with a sign saying "Thank Taxes." You can follow the gnome at the Partnership's Facebook page.
Also, take a look at the Partnership's new video -- and please share it far and wide!

Maura Healey and Warren Tolman say leadership styles, not policy differences, will be the focus of the Democratic primary.
BOSTON – The Democratic primary race for attorney general will be less about differences in policy and more about the candidates' leadership styles.
So say the candidates, Maura Healey and Warren Tolman.
''There probably aren't going to be that many differences in terms of policy, but I think what's important in this election for voters is who's in position to deliver," Healey said at a forum for the candidates Thursday at the Rappaport Center for Law and Public Service at Suffolk University.
John Miller, a Republican candidate for attorney general, did not attend the forum, citing a prior commitment.
Healey and Tolman said the opiate addiction epidemic in the state illustrates a need for better rehabilitation, treatment and mental health resources for drug addicts.
"The problem is mental health and substance abuse have not been treated in an equitable manner," said Tolman, a former state senator and state representative.
"Mental health parity should mean mental health parity," Tolman said.
Healey referred to her experience as an assistant attorney general for the past seven years under Attorney General Martha Coakley, who is leaving office to run for governor.
"I understand firsthand the difference the attorney general can make in the lives of people here in this state," Healey said.
Tolman said his service in the Legislature and as a private lawyer will allow him to make important final decisions.
Both Healey and Tolman said they would use technology to better protect the safety and privacy of Massachusetts residents.
"The first thing we need to do is we need more help with technology, whether it's on issues of cyber-security, data privacy or getting after child pornography rings," Healey said.
With gun violence an ongoing concern for Massachusetts, Tolman said forcing the implementation of smart-gun technology could greatly improve public safety by limiting the users of a gun.
"I have an F rating from the NRA; I'm proud of that," Tolman said. "If there's an F-minus available, I'm proud of that too. I'm going to work toward that."
Asked to pick the biggest South Shore issue for the next attorney general, Tolman said it's the affordability of health care.
Healey said her attention has been on rising homeowner's insurance rates in the region.
Both candidates said the goal of the attorney general should be to equally serve the state and its people.
"This is the least partisan statewide office," Tolman said. "It has to be; you're the people's advocate."

Scott by any means please post your kernel modules, as I was able to produce modules that allow me to mount an nfs export, but when I try to do any operation over them this mount gets stuck. And if you can, please include your .config with the modules.

Just downloaded European 2.00 firmware. Extracted, added Dropbear and NFS like described in this Wiki. The ~var symlink was not overwritten when extracted using the same tar command as suggested for Dropbear. Still, one could always extract with -w as well, do not extract the /var stuff, but extract it to another folder later on and move it manually. Re-compressed, installed new firmware. File system still there without problems. Only remaining problem:
- admin@TERASTATION:/etc$ /etc/init.d/nfs-common start
- /etc/init.d/nfs-common: modprobe: command not found
- Starting NFS common utilities: statd/etc/init.d/nfs-common: start-stop-daemon: command not found
Therefore on client side:
- [root@linuxbox ~]# mount 192.168.13.8:/mnt/array1 /mnt/terabackup/
- mount to NFS server '192.168.13.8' failed.
Two additional comments:
- after extracting the NFS stuff, etc/exports needs to be edited. The default exports only to 192.168.1.1, but you probably want to adjust it to export to either your box (change IP there) or your whole network (/mnt/array1 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0(rw,root_squash) or similar).
- You need to edit linkstation_version.txt to show a newer version number, otherwise you won't be able to upgrade. (Or add /force to the NASUpdater.exe command line)
I tried this twice. After the first time, I had to reinitialize the drives in order to restore the file system so that I could boot. This, the second time, I poked around the file system a little more and realized untarring it, using tar xvzf all-nfsd.tar.gz, overwrote my /var directory. It was overwritten because I *think* it was a symlink to /mnt/ram/var [http:/ls-lR/1.04/ file list]. I can't be certain because I'm running 1.12, but recreating the link seems better - I see the expected stuff in /var (e.g. /var/log/messages). I have no idea if the file system is normal because I haven't rebooted.
Anyone have any input? Is there a way for tar not to clobber that link?
I started up the portmapper and nfs, but I can't mount:
[root@mymachine ~]# mkdir -p /mnt/terastation/array1 [root@mymachine ~]# mount -t nfs 192.168.11.150:/mnt/array1 /mnt/terastation/array1 Segmentation fault
- nmap shows nfs and rpcbind are up.
- mymachine, running Fedora Core 4, nfs mounts stuff from an NSLU2 running Unslung 5.5 w/o issues.
- showmount -e 192.168.11.150 shows the export
Does anyone have any ideas of what else I can try? TIA

One issue is that /var/lib/nfs/rmtab is a directory instead of a file. If you look in the syslog, you will see a message like:
Feb 11 20:21:01 terastation rpc.mountd: could not open /var/lib/nfs/rmtab for locking
Unfortunately, this does not fix the problem. even after a reboot, mount request still segfault.
However, now it appears to work by examining the terastation syslog:
Feb 11 22:29:55 terastation rpc.mountd: authenticated mount request from client:616 for /mnt/array1 (/mnt/array1)
There are no other errors. This makes me wonder if there is a compatibility issue with the NFS version on my FC4 box and the one installed from sf.net.???

Dead Terastation
In my over zealous hacking attempts, I have managed to kill the code in my flash. Is there a way to restore the flash code?
- The TeraStation has a JTAG interface. It's part of the regular PowerPC debugging interface CN11. This 16pin interface is quite common for embedded PowerPCs, but I've forgotten it's name and don't have any useable links.
- Unfortunately we don't have any JTAG-borderscan information, and without you will not be able to use the JTAG interface.
- Sorry, but it looks like you're hossed. How did you destroy your flash anyway?
- Come to think of it: unless you also destroyed the bootloader, you should be able to access it. Either from the serial port or even from the network. I've no further infrmation on this either.
- You could ask buffalo, they have now at last learned how to use mdadm with a hacked firmware to recover a hossed raid.

It was actually kinda stupid. I have two TeraStations, a TeraStation 1T and a TeraStation Pro 1T. I got the latest firmware for the Pro to add the AD support. I 'accidentally' applied the update to the non-pro box. After the TeraStation rebooted, it shutdown with the Diag light flashing. According to TeraStation docs:
Five time continuous blinking(every four seconds) Flash ROM Error
The box is no longer accessible from the net. I thought I may be able to find some info on the root disk so I put it in a USB enclosure and mounted it using Suse. Of course there was nothing I could do because the kernel doesn't appear to load/execute from the flash. I haven't performed the console mod yet. Do think this might provide some useful output? Or should I just admit my stupidity and send the box back to buffalo for repair?
-- Update -- I performed the console mod and now I can see the boot messages (boot text). It appears the problem is that it's not loading an IDE driver ('cause the Pro doesn't use IDE?). Any Ideas? --Sjcook 14:52, 19 April 2006 (CEST)
Terrastation Root password.
I have just installed the Terastation 2.03 firmware from http://homepage.ntlworld.com/itimpi/buffalo.htm I currently have telnet access, and wish to install SSH, although I do not have root accesss. sudo does not work because there is no /etc/sudoers file, and I can't add anything to /etc/ due to my permissions. Does anyone know the default root password for 2.03? Thanks.
- No, but feel free to crack it. It's btw. a lot easier to just make a modivied firmware image.

is the root loging account should be "myroot" with a blank password.
Virtual Terastation
Hi, have just bought a Terastation and LinkTheater, like the idea of modding the TS for all these extra features, wondering if anyone has thought of testing it using a virtual PC (I have dd'ed the partitions of an old PC onto virtual disks created with QEMU (http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu) and then run the old machine as a virtual one within vmplayer (http://www.vmware.com/products/player) ) ? Is this something that anyone has considered - or does anyone have a copy of the linux partitions ? (A little nervous of opening the TS up as I now have data on it!) Thanks.

Has anyone tried this.? WizardFusion
Unfortunatly there is no HowTo for installing the LundFTPD. I tried to get it working but had no success. I downloaded and installed the precompiled Binary. Afer configuring the .conf file a litte bit i tried to start he deamon with /etc/init.d/lundftpd start - nothing happened (also no logfile action). when i tried to start the lundftpd manually with lundftpd -v a "segmentation fault" appeared.
Maybe there are some dependencies but i do not know which (there is no lundftpd readme.txt). If someone get the ftpd working please explain how (in the "hacking" page of this wiki).
I tried it with: Terastion 1TB, Disk Firmware 1.12 (Dave's hacked version)
Half Dead Terastation
Please read, and either laugh or cry.. After updating the firmware of my terastation to get root access to my box I started playing around. I found a heap of binaries that could be used with the terastation, so without looking through I untared everything.. (it all the packages looked useful) The downfall was that I replaced glibc and I get this error when i telnet to the box in.telnetd: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.3' not found (required by /lib/libwrap.so.0) SMB, apache, have also stopped working although FTP is good and healthy.
The only thing I can see possible now is for me to find an LPR exploit or try getting serial access.
I read through the documentation serial port guide on this site, although I am still wondering what exactly I need to do from a step-by-step persepctive.. Do I need to buy any resistors or jumpers? if so what type? etc.. Could anyone please help me out.
you crashed the diskfirmware, thats not an essential problem. i had an equal problem. after disconnecting the harddisks and playing with the firmware toy a bit the whole raid array was renewed therefore also the diskfirmware deleted. after this you can flash again and everything will work again regards, ringgh0st
Your 100% right!. I was so scared that if I rebooted my terastation it would render it unusable by not being able to boot. I also realised there was a factory reset button on the back of the unit as well.
User Space NFS Daemons
I just spent the day hacking my Terastation Pro to support NFS. While it works perfectly now it was such a pain I felt I should post my solution here to save others some suffering.
First off don't bother with the kernel space version of NFS. I tried the posted modules in the articles section, all-nfsd.tar.gz, and they were nothing but trouble. The Terastation Pro kernel is a different build of the same 2.4.20 kernel used in the original Terastation, so the kernel symbol table is slightly different. As such the modules will not load easily.
No big deal right? We know the symbols are still there, the names simply changed a little bit. Just modify the symbol names in the old modules to reflect the new symbol names, all the information you need is in /proc/ksyms. I did this and I was able to load the modules, start the NFS server, and even mount an exported filesystem. Unfortunately, there seems to be a problem, the nfsd threads on the Terastation will die when handling getattr RPCs. That's just no good, don't bother with this approach there are easier ways.
Terasation: 2.4.20_mvl31-ppc_linkstation Terastation Pro: 2.4.20_mvl31-ppc_terastation
Next I opted to try the user space NFS daemon approach. After some experimentation I settled on the pre-packaged ppc version debian shipped some time back. Don't go with the version SuSE shipped it seg faults as as soon as a client mounts. Since it was a pain to round up a working ppc version of all these binary here's a pre-packaged tarball of everything you'll need to get NFS working on a Terastation Pro. These binaries should work fine on an original Terastation as well but I have not been able to test that.
Just untar this in to the root of your Terastation, configure your /etc/exports file, and start the service with the init script.
cd / wget http://www.undeadscientist.com/terastation/nfs-terastation-pro.tgz tar -xzvf nfs-terastation-pro.tgz vi /etc/exports /etc/init.d/nfs-user-server start
Then just mount it on whatever clients you see fit. There was one client side issue I ran in to which is worth mentioning, and that is you may need to explicity mount it as an NFS V2 client. This is due to an issue with the debian build of the user space NFS daemons.
mount -o nfsvers=2 -t nfs 192.168.1.5:/mnt/array1 /mnt
--Abarrow 16:29, 10 May 2006 (CEST) Thanks for the instructions! I also tried to kernel space version on my original Terastation with no luck. I then followed your instructions, and it worked a treat. So, I can confirm that the user space version of NFS works fine on an original Terastation.
--Entropy The user-land nfs referenced above has a 2Gb file size limit because it only speaks the v2 protocol.
I just finish setting this up and it seems to be working, at least nfs service started and if I scan the machine, looks like portmapper, nfs and mountd are running, but I can not get mount to work. I get an access denied when I try to mount. (I am mounting from a Solaris Box- Solaris 9)
Here's a snippet: root@AMS-2811:/# mount -o nfsvers=2 10.24.6.155:/test /test mount: 10.24.6.155:/test on /test - WARNING unknown option "nfsvers=2" nfs mount: 10.24.6.155:/test: access denied root@AMS-2811:/#
-- Kimbotha 15:05, 25 October 2006 (CEST): Changed link as linkstationwiki.org link seemed broken. Yes I am interested in having a cross toolchain for the Terastation. Am going to try and build one for myself if I can.
Files missing from GPL archive
I received the Software#GPL_Software from Buffalo but it seems that they left out the hhl-host-rpmconfig* file that contains all the macros used to crossbuild their software.
Does anyone know where I can get a MontaVista 3.1 hhl-host-rpmconfig* file?
Webmin installation on Terastation
I just managed to install Webmin on my Terastation. It was pretty simple, really. Just download the GZIP, unzip/untar into /root then run "./setup.sh /usr/local/webmin". I found it needed to go into /root to make some of the perl scripts to work. The only thing I had to change from the default was the location of PERL. It installs itself as another web server (<your terastation address>:10000). I'm still having a bit of trouble getting it to restart after a reboot, but once it is running you can look around in your system, adjust Samba settings, look at printers, log files, cron files, etc.

Only I never made it. Sigh.
I don't like to waste food, and Sticky, Gooey, Creamy Chewy's food blog solved my dilemma on what to do with all that heavy cream. Susan created this "Flower of Milk" Panna Cotta recipe, and that was that. It would become dessert immediately. Panna Whatta? This Italian dessert translates to "Cooked Cream". Think of it as an eggless custard-- a creamy, slightly sweet dessert that can be transformed into just about any kind of flavor that you like. Like ice cream. I've posted one of my favorite panna cotta recipes that's served with a Grand Marnier caramel sauce and bruleed figs. Yes, it's fancy and oh so delicious. This recipe is much simpler, and uses an ingredient that I happened to have on hand:
Ramos Gin Fizz (definitely not for children).
Susan's recipe could not have been easier-- to four cups of heavy cream, add 1/2 cup sugar and heat until hot, but not simmering. In a separate bowl, sprinkle four teaspoons of powdered gelatin over 6 tablespoons of cold water...
TASTING NOTES: This is a really easy dessert to make. Can it be made with skim milk? I have no idea. Half and half? Probably. I have a philosophy about desserts like this-- indulge, enjoy, but don't do this every day. To me, Panna Cotta is defined as "cooked cream" for a reason. If you have success with skim milk, please let me know. As for flavor-- I loved it. The citrus flavor was very mild....subtle. You knew you were eating orange, but it didn't overpower the flavor. I am a big fan of custard desserts, and this is very creamy without being too rich. If you don't have orange flower water, add vanilla. I love eating Panna Cotta with a fruit coulis sauce. But this is very refreshing. I'll have to experiment with a lemon-scented version.
I still want to make that ice cream flavor, and I shall. Fortunately the heavy cream is finally gone-- some in mashed potatoes, and a few splashes here and there in pan sauces and creamed soups I've made. The dessert looks impressive, and you don't have to tell anyone how easy it was to make.
A printable recipe card is at the end of this post. Thanks, Susan

Goldman Sachs Group Inc. Chief Executive Officer Lloyd Blankfein is among the business leaders invited to the White House tomorrow as President Barack Obama seeks their support for his approach to addressing the fiscal cliff, according to two people familiar with the matter.
Obamas meeting with the executives, his second such session this month, is part of an administration campaign to pressure Congress to extend tax cuts for middle-income Americans while letting them rise for top earners, according to the people, who requested anonymity because the list of those at the meeting hasnt been officially released.
U.S. House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio and other House Republican leaders are also scheduled to meet with Blankfein tomorrow and other CEOs pressing for an agreement to avoid the $607 billion in automatic tax increases and spending cuts scheduled to take effect in January, according to a House aide.
With the Christmas holiday approaching, the Obama administration is mounting a campaign-style push for public support as the newly re-elected president faces off against congressional Republicans over proposals to avert the so-called fiscal cliff. He met with owners of small businesses today and is planning to visit a toy factory in Pennsylvania this week to help build public support for his plan.
Tax Rates
Obama is urging Congress to act immediately on his plan to keep existing tax rates for middle-income Americans while letting those for the top earners rise, even as talks continue on spending cuts and changes to entitlement programs such as Medicare. Many Republicans say they are willing to consider higher revenue as along as its accompanied by cuts in entitlement programs.
The president is arguing that, without a deal, consumer confidence may suffer, hurting holiday shopping and the economic recovery.
It is something that everyone in Washington agrees must be done and it is something that the House of Representatives could do today or tomorrow if they so chose, because the Senate has already passed a bill that extends those tax cuts White House press secretary Jay Carney said today.
Negotiations have made such little headway that Obama is delaying inviting congressional leaders back to the White House this week as he had originally planned, according to a Democratic congressional aide.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat, told reporters today hes disappointed by the lack of progress in the talks since he and other congressional leaders met with Obama at the White House on Nov. 16.
Theres been little progress with Republicans, Reid said. Lawmakers need to get away from the happy talk and start discussing specifics, he said.
Still, Reid said he was extremely hopeful and didnt think Republicans will hold out and allow the tax increases and spending cuts to be triggered.
U.S. stocks extended losses as Reid spoke. The Standard & Poors 500 Index slipped 0.3 percent to 1,402.03 as of 3:17 p.m. in New York. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.5 percent to 12,908.08.
Among the executives who will be meeting with members of Congress tomorrow are Thomas Wilson, the president and CEO of Allstate Corp., Doug Oberhelman, the CEO of Caterpillar Inc., David Cote, the chairman and CEO of Honeywell International Inc. and Mark Bertolini, the chairman and CEO of Aetna Inc., according to the congressional aide.
Obama Meetings
Before tomorrows meeting with Blankfein and the other executives, Obama will have an event with middle-income Americans who would be affected if the tax rates rise.
Blankfein was at the White House in July to meet with Jack Lew, Obamas chief of staff. He also is on the CEO fiscal leadership council of the Campaign to Fix the Debt, which was founded by the co-chairman of Obamas fiscal commission.
The group is backing the framework laid out by 2010 fiscal commission leaders Erskine Bowles and Alan Simpson for reducing the nations deficit, which has exceeded $1 trillion throughout Obamas first term. Bowles, a Democrat and former White House chief of staff for President Bill Clinton, and Simpson, a Republican and former senator from Wyoming, proposed tax increases and spending cuts.
CEO Council
The CEO councils principles call for Congress to overhaul Medicare and Medicaid, strengthen Social Security and enact comprehensive and pro-growth tax reform that lowers rates, broadens the tax base, raises revenue and cuts the deficit.
Blankfein has urged policymakers to reach a compromise to avoid the fiscal cliff, including cutbacks to programs like Social Security and more revenue from the wealthiest Americans.
Social Security wasnt devised to be a system that supported you for a 30-year retirement after a 25-year career, he said in an interview with CBS news on Nov. 19. The retirement age has to be changed.
In the long run, there has to be more revenue, he said. The burden of that revenue will be disproportionately taken up by wealthier people. Thats just logical.

Written by Marsha Mercer, AARP Bulletin
About 7 million people are initially expected to buy health coverage through the Affordable Care Act marketplace in each state.
Shopping for health insurance? The health insurance marketplace is now open
On the website, insurance companies compete for customers, and it's easy to compare prices. In the coming weeks and months you'll see the marketplace (also known as the exchange) touted, attacked and discussed.
How will the insurance marketplace affect your coverage? Here's what you need to know right now.
1. Will I have to buy my health insurance through a marketplace?
No, if you have health coverage, you won't have to change a thing. You won't use the marketplace if you're among the 85 percent of Americans who get their insurance through an employer or through Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE or the Veterans Administration, or get employer retiree health benefits.
You'll use it if you're among the 15 percent of Americans who are uninsured. You may also use the marketplace if you can't afford your employer's plan. Members of Congress and their staffs also will buy their health insurance through the site.
(Tip: If you now buy your own insurance from a private company, you can use the marketplace.)
2. What's the reason for the new marketplace?
Under the Affordable Care Act that President Obama signed into law in 2010, starting in 2014 most Americans and legal residents must have health insurance or pay a tax penalty.
To help the uninsured buy insurance, the law requires every state to have an online marketplace designed to be a one-stop shop where people can compare and buy health insurance coverage from a number of companies. Using the website, consumers also can find out whether they qualify for a tax credit to help pay for their insurance — up-front financial help to immediately lower the cost of premiums — or whether they qualify for Medicaid, the federal-state health program for low-income people.
(Tip: Nobody has to use the marketplace to buy health insurance. Individuals can still deal directly with insurance companies, but subsidies to help pay for insurance will be available only to those who purchase polices through the marketplace.)
3. I work for a contracting business that doesn't offer me or the rest of its 22 employees health insurance. Will the owners have to do so now?
No, small businesses with fewer than 50 full-time workers don't have to offer insurance. If your employer doesn't offer insurance, you will be able to shop for an individual policy on the marketplace, where you may qualify for help paying your premiums.
4. How much financial assistance can I get to help pay for insurance?
When you use the marketplace, you'll find out whether you qualify for help with your monthly premiums, out-of-pocket expenses or both, depending on your annual household income, age and other factors.
Individuals with income up to $45,960 and couples with income up to $62,040 in 2013 — slightly higher in 2014 — may qualify; for those who do, the new tax credits can be sent directly to the insurance company. Many older people qualify for higher subsidies than younger men and women because insurance companies can charge older people higher prices. But with the financial help offered, they will pay the same out-of-pocket for their premiums as younger people.
For example, take two individuals — one a 51-year-old sales associate, the other a 60-year-old musician. Each is a nonsmoker who makes $45,500 a year and doesn't have employer health insurance. Each will pay about $360 a month of his or her own money for insurance premiums for a silver plan, the middle-tier marketplace plan, which covers about 70 percent of health care costs.

Lady Gaga's former personal assistant has accused the pop superstar of invading her privacy by forcing her to sleep in bed with her on tour.
Jennifer O'Neill, who spent 13 months working for the Poker Face star, is suing the singer and her tour company over allegations she is owed $380,000 for 7,168 hours of unpaid overtime during the 2010 Monster Ball trek.
Gaga had to give a sworn deposition as part of the legal proceedings, and during her expletive-ridden testimony, she branded O'Neill a "f**king hood rat" and accused her of failing in her duties by leaving her to carry her own luggage and unpack her own bags.
O'Neill has also testified as part of the dispute, and during her deposition, obtained by the New York Post, she claimed she was never given her own hotel room while on tour and was forced to sleep in the same bed as her boss.
She says, "I was by her side virtually 24 hours a day, seven days a week. That includes sleeping in the same bed with her. Because she did not sleep alone... Unlike anybody else on that tour, I did not have my own hotel room. I was not asked if I wanted my own hotel room... I had no privacy, no chance to talk to any family, no chance to talk to any friends, no chance to have sex if I wanted to have sex. There was no chance to do anything."
When asked if sleeping in the same bed as Gaga was part of her job, O'Neill replies, "I felt it was."
O'Neill also alleged the singer expected her to be available to work every hour of the day, adding, "(Gaga said) 'I expect you to be working and to be available 24/7."
